| 'Real Housewives' Stars Charged With Fraud |
| 2013-07-30 |
| [VARIETY] [VARIETY] Teresa Giudice, 41, and her husband Giuseppe "Joe" Giudice, 43, stars of the Real Housewives of New Jersey were indicted Monday on federal fraud charges. I knew she wasn't a real housewife all along. They have been accused of exaggerating their income while applying for loans before their TV show debuted in 2009, then hiding their improving fortunes in a bankruptcy filing after their first season aired. I'm not even convinced she's from Noo Joisey... The couple, of Montville Township, were charged in a 39-count indictment with conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud, bank fraud, making false statements on loan applications and bankruptcy fraud. |

| #2 FTFA - fake W-2's, etc. are alleged to have been given to the bank. I still find it amazing the bank never asked for their tax returns and / sent the IRS this form to verify same. |

| #1 They have been accused of exaggerating their income while applying for loans before their TV show debuted in 2009, then hiding their improving fortunes in a bankruptcy filing after their first season aired. The bank never asked for their tax returns? If that's the case I find it hard to see fraud on the applicant's part as opposed to complete lack of due diligence on the bank's part. |
